Luke Evans: A Song For You

Following the success of his debut album At Last, Luke Evans returns with A Song For You. A Song For You drew its title from the Donny Hathaway song that’s one of Evans’ lifelong favourites, and with which he opens the 14-song selection.

The foundations of the album are four songs that speak to both his talent and to the respect in which he’s held by his peers: the two tracks he’s written with renowned songwriter Amy Wadge (credits incl. Ed Sheeran, Jessie Ware, James Blunt) alongside two stellar duets with Nicole Kidman ('Say Something') and Charlotte Church ('Come What May').
